I got an std from one my exs which never told he did. Now I been with my husband for almost 3 years and finally got pregnant. I'm 17w2d, I'm worried. Will I have a c-section or normal?

If you had herpes for 4 years before you got pregnant then the baby will have natural immunity from you so the chances of the baby catching it are very low.  If you have an outbreak at the time of birth the dr's might suggest a c-section but they might also just give the baby a course of anti-virals when they are born to prevent contamination. Make sure you tell your midwife about this so that they can monitor you carefully and put it in your notes so that any other midwife/caregiver knows about the situation and can act appropriately. Don't let it stress you out. they will know what is best for the baby and chances are you will be able to have a normal birth.

I thought of that too but my husband convent me from not doing that because one day he will pay for what's done nd what's he doing. But the weird part about it is that, he's my sister in law brother which really *****.

Ok, the same thing happened to me. My ex husband cheated and gave it to me. My Dr. Put me on a medicine to suppress outbreaks and has long as u are not having an out break at the time of labor you can have a vaginal birth and the baby will be fine.

A friend of mine had clamydia in her teens and had scar tissue in her uterus because it caused her PID.  At 25 she got pregnant and delivered vaginally with no complications.  I on the other hand have never had an STD no scar tissue and had to have a csection because I pushed for 3 hours and my baby was too big to come out.  My point is you never know until you get to delivery...  even women who have had previous csections have been delivering vaginally with their next pregnancy (becomming more common).  If your doctor hasn't mentioned it prepare to deliver vaginally and expect the unexpected.  Good luck :)
